portlandon -

You should have no regrets on your part, and I don't view the list as a nuisance. It's what a previous version of the list was used for elsewhere that troubles some folk.

You simply posted what you thought was interesting and other newcomers may find it to be exactly that. Some other folk (including me) merely posted some caveats to keep things from running off the rails. No harm done.

In fact, let me admit that, in my early years in the hobby (long before the Internet), a list of firsts like this even caught my eye, and it sure seemed like bragging rights to defend my interest in the marque. However, as I learned more about automotive history (and continue to learn), I realized I should take such lists with a grain of salt.

As long as the list is presented for information only, which is what this great site is all about, I don't see any problem on the horizon.
